Laziness and Love Memes

[silveradept]

The concept of laziness is often used as a shortcut, usually without complete information, and with a strong bout of moral judgment and "should" attached.

Since I've been taking some sick time recently after fighting with my own head about whether I deserve to heal up and rest or whether I'm "really" sick enough to deserve it (despite some obvious symptoms and signs of it), this piece about laziness what it entails has significant relevance.

There's also a lovely Midsummer Night's Love Meme over at kaberett's way, and if you wanted to leave something in my thread, that would be helpful.

Anyone not feeling up to par is sick enough to deserve it. I want to say "You deserve it because we all do, sick or not" but don't want to sound like I'm tsk-tsking. Just stating a fact. Rest should be everyone's everyday activity (when possible) not something we're all doing only upon our deathbeds *curses Protestant work ethics/Calvinism/any other work to death movement or philosophy that's ever pissed me off/destroyed others* (though Japan has something even worse going on with that, come to think of it)

Hope you will feel better.
